VICTORY IN FREDERICKSBURG!

At the conclusion of Tuesday’s Fredericksburg City Council meeting, and
after hearing from dozens of citizens, the motion to appoint a
commission to study renaming Jefferson Davis Highway failed to get a
second, and died on the floor. We heard from many of you who called,
wrote, and emailed City Council and Mary Washington University and offer
our sincere thanks for your efforts!

The night of the meeting, about a dozen flaggers gathered outside of the
courthouse, and council chambers were packed. The Mary Washington
University professor who started all of this was the first to speak.

He explained the project and mentioned that the students had researched
Jefferson Davis. He reiterated multiple times that Davis was a “white
supremacist”. The students that spoke regurgitated his words. They
offered no primary documents. One by one, those in attendance heard the
same thing over and over again. It was clear that the students had not a
clue about history, Davis, or the economic impact of this proposal.

The majority of those signed up to speak were local citizens who were
against the proposal. Most of these folks offered primary sources and
one person wrote about the huge economic impact on the city if the name
was to be changed. The professor and students seemed to be clueless as
to the economic impact. The screen in the room showed the faces of the
future, self-righteous and smirking.

Our friend Ms. Teresa Roane gave a beautiful statement, pointing out the
relationship between the Davis family and people of color. She gave the
Fredericksburg City Council two photocopies of letters to prove her
assertions. (Take note, Mary Washington University students…in
research, this is called a primary document) One student, who opened by
describing herself as a communist, dismissed Ms. Roane and the letters,
claiming they were “obviously” written by people with Stockholm
Syndrome. We find it interesting that those who would point their finger
at Jefferson Davis and call him a “white supremacist” do not believe
people of color can think for themselves.

Special thanks to Commander Bill West of the Rev. Beverly Tucker Lacy
SCV Camp #2141 for his work organizing and rallying the troops in
attendance Tuesday night, and kudos to all those who came to stand up
and speak out in support of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway.

There
is yet another movement abroad to air-brush Confederate history and to use it
as the scapegoat for all the social ills of this country. The movement is
undertaken in the fashion of the Soviet Communists under Stalin, and it is one
more step towards totalitarianism held together by lies, distortions, and
disinformation. Today it appears in the form of a petition to remove the name
of Jefferson Davis from the portion of US Highway 1 that runs through
Fredericksburg, Virginia. It is a petition proposed by a professor with an
agenda at the University of Mary Washington as a project for his class. The
evident enthusiasm of the class for the project indicates that they have been
successfully indoctrinated by what Voltaire called “The propaganda of the
victorious,” which in this case states that Jefferson Davis was a traitor and
that The War was fought to free the slaves. This Myth now goes unchallenged in
the academy, as the evident purpose of academia these days seems not to be the
encouragement of inquiry, but the inculcation of dogma. The North’s War against
Southern Secession is a prime example.

There
were many legitimate causes for the Southern States’ secession from the Union
in 1861, but there was only one cause for The War – legitimate only if one is
an imperialist. That cause was the North’s refusal to let the South go in
peace. But this puts Abraham Lincoln and the United States in 1861 in a
relationship analogous to George III and England in 1776. This will never do,
so history must be sanitized, Soviet-style, and the North’s War of Conquest
must be transformed into an Orwellian war of liberation, although in reality
emancipation of the slave was merely a byproduct of the war waged against his
master – just as was Lord Dunmore’s Emancipation Proclamation during the
Revolution. Read Lincoln’s famous Emancipation Proclamation objectively, and
you will see that it says in essence that “slavery is all right as long as one
is loyal to Lincoln’s government.” President Lincoln was a white supremacist
who worked to deport freed Blacks to Central America and elsewhere. Maybe the
Crusaders’ next petition should be for the removal of the Lincoln Memorial. But
for now we are supposed to harken to Marxist carpetbaggers and repudiate our
great-grandfathers who were fighting to defend our country from invasion,
conquest and coerced political allegiance – just as their fathers had done in
1776, when the thirteen slaveholding colonies seceded from the British Empire.

The
petition to change the name of Jefferson Davis Highway is unjustified by the
truth of history. Leaving his name on the highway does not mean an endorsement
of slavery and white supremacy. It means an endorsement of our Revolutionary
and Constitutional heritage, and our stand against invasion, conquest, and
coerced political allegiance to a colossal, bureaucratic, totalitarian
government. Burying that fact is the real agenda of the Marxist Crusaders who
would expunge all traces of Confederate history. Leave Jeff Davis alone. He has
something to teach us.

The Virginia Flaggers learned yesterday that Lexington City Council has
approved a request by the "anti-racism" group "C.A.R.E. Rockbridge" to
hold a parade from 10:00 a.m - 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 14th,
2017, which is the exact time that the Stonewall Brigade Camp SCV, has
held a parade since 2000 to honor Lee & Jackson on the day
officially set aside in Lexington as Lee-Jackson Day.

C.A.R.E. obviously intends to disrupt the peaceful Lee-Jackson Day
memorial remembrance activities, and Lexington City Council approved
their request to do so.

From the Lexington News-Gazette:

"According to the parade request emailed to city hall, the purpose
of the event is “to celebrate the diversity within our great town.” CARE
representatives listed on the parade request are Rallie Snowden, Lyndon
Sayers and Florentien Verhage.

At the Council meeting, Snowden, a university counselor and LGBTQ
(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) coordinator at Washington
and Lee University, read a statement that began, “In the spirit of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., we are representing CARE … in asking for a
permit to hold a parade representing Lexington community solidarity.”"

These folks may call themselves "anti-racists", but in reality, they are
leftist extremists who call out even a small gathering in a cemetery to
honor Jackson on the day of his death as dangerous and an attempt to
"reclaim whiteness":

Post from CARE Rockbridge's FaceBook Group

After the vote, where City Council unanimously approved the request,
Mayor Mimi Elrod, who led City Council to ban the display of all flags
(except U.S., state and city) from city light pole flag stands to
prevent the flags of Lee & Jackson from flying during the
Lee-Jackson holiday, expressed her support for the group's plans to
disrupt the Lee-Jackson Day memorial remembrances...

From the Lexington News-Gazette:

"Following the vote, Mayor Mimi Elrod commented that King, in
marching across the bridge at Selma, “didn’t turn around: he kept going.
Sometimes we have to do that too for moral and religious reasons.”"

The Stonewall Brigade, SCV is considering their options and will
announce their plans for the weekend as soon as they are finalized.

In the meantime, we encourage all supporters of Confederate heritage to
set aside the dates of Friday, January 13th and Saturday, January 14th
and make plans to make your way to Lexington, Virginia either or both
days. Stay tuned for more details, but we are already working on plans
to make this Lee-Jackson weekend bigger and better than ever. Now, more
than ever, we need a huge showing to let this group and City Council
know that we WILL gather to honor Lee & Jackson on Lee-Jackson Day,
and that the hate and prejudice of the ignorant and misinformed will
not prevent us from doing what is the responsibility and duty of every
one of us with Confederate blood flowing through our veins...honoring
Lee and Jackson on the day set aside in their honor by the City of
Lexington.

If they expect that we will go away quietly, they have greatly underestimated our resolve.

Forrest Rides Again! The request for a waiver to the Tennessee
Heritage Preservation Act of 2015 in order to remove the Forrest statue
HAS BEEN DENIED! God has blessed our Heritage Warriors with a great Victory!

Memphis City Council's request to move the monument has been DENIED. Congratulations to the Memphis Brigade, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and all those who helped win this battle. Those in attendance said the discussion was brief and the decision came quickly.

The war against our heritage is not over, by any means, but this victory, and scores of others like it across the country are serving to inspire others to rise up and join our ranks, and will serve to further discourage municipalities from even considering similar actions, knowing the attempt will to lead to further division among citizenry, countless wasted hours and resources, and taxpayer money tossed away in unnecessary and expensive legal fees.

“Never stand and take a charge… charge them too.” Nathan Bedford Forrest

We
have received numerous calls, messages, and email communications with
concerns about missing flags, especially regarding the largest flags on
Rt. 29 in Danville. Social media was ripe with haters prematurely
celebrating the fact that someone had “finally gotten those flags
removed”. #NotSoFast

When our Guardians lowered the flags ahead of Hurricane Matthew, we
asked them to carefully inspect the flags and ropes for wear. Several
flags were found to have minor tears and in need of repair and one rope
had to be replaced. As you can imagine, this is not an easy task and
the repairs took a bit longer than we had anticipated, but we have found
that if we catch these tears early, they are easier to repair and saves
on flag replacement costs in the long run.

I am happy to report that thanks to our friends at SkyHigh Poles in
Danville, the large flags on 29 were raised once again today in
Danville, completing several weeks of repairs and replacements on all 14
flags there.

A new flag arrived in Lexington today to replace the one at our Jackson
Farm site, and we are working on getting a replacement up to
Fredericksburg in the next few days. By the weekend, all 26 of our
existing sites will be up and flying, with the exception of our first
site in Chester, which is undergoing site upgrades.

Once again, we offer our most sincere thanks to all of those who
volunteer to help maintain these sites across the Commonwealth, the
hundreds of folks who alert us to missing and damaged flags, and to all
of our supporters whose financial support makes the construction and
maintenance of these memorial sites possible.

The
Virginia Flaggers offer our sincere congratulations and best wishes to
the men of the North Carolina Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans,
who raised their first roadside memorial battle flag this weekend as
part of their "Flags Across the Carolinas" project!

From Commander Kevin Stone:

I am pleased to announce that our Division has completed it's
first flag-raising as part of the "Flags Across the Carolinas" project!
The flag was raised today, Sunday, October 16, through the hard work of
the membership of Sanford's Nathan Bedford Forrest Camp #803. The Camp
will maintain the site and make improvements to increase the visibility
of the flag from the road.

Because of its location along the Jefferson Davis Highway, our
first flag is dedicated to Jefferson Davis, the first and only President
of the Confederate States of America. Davis was a remarkable man who,
in addition to carrying the Confederate states through four years of war
against impossible odds, was a decorated U.S. Army veteran,
Congressman, Senator, and Secretary of War. It is right to honor a man
that served two countries so well and who conducted himself through
great personal and political strife with skill and dignity. He truly was
one of the last great statesmen.

Our flag is an 8' x 8' Army of Northern Virginia battle flag atop a
40 foot pole. It is located in Moore County on the side of the
Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. 1) outside of Cameron.

I would also like to report at this time that our first Mega Flag
is still under construction - if you know anyone who can help us set the
pole, please contact me as that would move the project along toward
completion. Once we pass that hurdle, we will organize a Division
dedication event surrounding the flag-raising.

For now, enjoy the fact that there is now one more large
Confederate flag, the standard of our ancestors, proudly flying in North
Carolina. Pictures are included below.

We were humbled and honored to be the subject of a beautiful and inspirational poem and are sharing it here for your pleasure and appreciation.

Dear Virginia Flaggers In great appreciation of your deeds, which
lift morale in all of the Southern States, I have composed a short poem
for you. I only wish that it had been written by a more masterful pen
than my own. Alice Scott ~ San Antonio, Texas.

"CLEAR TO TEXAS"

by Alice Scott ~ San Antonio, Texas

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Virginia Flaggers!
The voice of Dixie shouts elation!
You are a jewel in the Land O' Cotton,
Worthy descendants of a noble generation.

We find ourselves in daily battle,
Against attacks the enemy brings,
Attacks on our Confederate dead,
Attacks on all Confederate things.

Our bones grow weary from little rest,
Between each shameful wretched stunt.
But fear ye not - Virginia Flaggers,
Are riding swiftly to the front!

Our souls exhaust from heavy burden,
From all the hateful wicked wrongs,
But then we see our Southern Cross
a'flyin' high where she belongs!

All is well then with our souls,
Our Southern hearts once more renewed.
We look to-wards the Old Dominion,
With loving thoughts and gratitude.

Keep 'em flyin' great Virginians,
Keep singing songs of Dixieland!
We hear your voices clear to Texas,
We see those flags from the Rio Grand!

Our readers may recall that we shared the news that Richmond police officers
were able to serve warrants on a local protestor after he turned up at
the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts last month. We are thrilled to report
that earlier today, the most violent of the “counter-protestors” who
sometimes antagonizes and attempts to
provoke our Flaggers on the Boulevard in Richmond was convicted of
disorderly conduct in a local courtroom, in connection with a June
incident where he spit at, cursed out, and intimidated several of our
Flaggers in a violent rage.

He was convicted, levied with a fine and court costs, forced to publicly
apologize, and instructed to keep his distance from the Va Flaggers.

We are thrilled with the precedent set and proud of the ladies who swore
out warrants and took time off of work today to face their assailant in
court. We left the courtroom with renewed optimism, rekindled
commitment to our Cause, and more determined than ever to stand, fight,
and NEVER back down!

Bo Traywick came out to the courthouse today to offer support and to be
available if needed, since he has also had experience with the accused . He wrote and sent a wonderful report with commentary, a
portion of which we are sharing with his permission…

Dear Miss Susan,

I thought the judge today was first class! He was totally objective and
understanding, and not the least a demagogue, as we sometimes are faced
with in these latter-days of “neo-Reconstruction.”...

...I am sorry I did not get to speak before the judge today. I heard him
say that he was a veteran. I wanted to tell him that I was a veteran
also. I risked my life getting shot at under the Stars and Stripes in
Vietnam, and when I returned home, men like me were met by men like
Romans at the airport, who spat upon us, and I resent Roman’s
accusations. Romans calls us Nazis. My Uncle, who was a surgeon from
South Carolina serving with the 20th Combat Engineer Regiment under the
Stars and Stripes, who was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and
two Purple Hearts, and who made three invasions, was killed by the
Nazis in the Hertgen Forest by Nazi artillery, and I resent Roman’s
accusation. My father was awarded the Combat Infantryman’s badge for his
service under the Stars and Stripes in Burma as the adviser of a
Chinese infantry regiment under General Stilwell, and I resent Roman’s
accusations. All of us are descended from Lt. John L. Crute, 4th
Virginia Regiment, Continental Line, who fought under the Stars and
Stripes and got chopped up by Tarleton’s Dragoons at Hanging Rock, South
Carolina, during “Buford’s Massacre”, and I resent Roman’s accusations.
And all of us are descended from the Rev. J. B. Traywick, who served
fifty years in the South Carolina Conference as a Methodist Minister,
who was raised on a farm in North Carolina where there were no slaves
because “his father wouldn’t have any on the place,” and who fought as a
teenaged rifleman in the Army of Northern Virginia, was captured in the
Valley in 1864, survived Point Lookout and the War, but lost four
brothers and one brother-in-law that I know about, and I resent Roman’s
accusations. Other than curse at women and children while waving the
Stars and Stripes, I wonder if he ever put his life on the line for that
– or any other flag. I am proud of my Confederate heritage as well as
my heritage and my service under the Stars and Stripes.

Mr. Romans told the judge that he had studied history at VCU. Well good
for him. My family lived it. We didn’t need some Marxist, revisionist
“Court Historian” to tell us what I have been told about it since I was a
little boy. I heard our history from those who had heard it first hand
from those who had made that history – at least from those few who had
survived it! But we are soon to be passing away ourselves, leaving the
truth to be interpreted and twisted in the latest political winds. But
we may take heart. The truth may not be killed. It may be buried alive,
but it will not die.

Pass this along, if you wish, Miss Susan. It is all for the Cause of the Truth that we all stand for.

"On
a quiet autumn morning, in the land which he loved so well and served
so faithfully, the spirit of Robert Edward Lee left the clay which it
had so much ennobled and traveled out of this world into the great and
mysterious land. Here in the North, forgetting that the time was when
the sword of Robert Edward Lee was drawn against us—forgetting and
forgiving all the years of bloodshed and agony—we
have long since ceased to look upon him as the Confederate leader, but
have claimed him as one of ourselves; have cherished and felt proud of
his military genius; have recounted and recorded his triumphs as our
own; have extolled his virtue as reflecting upon us—for Robert Edward
Lee was an American, and the great nation which gave him birth would be
today unworthy of such a son if she regarded him lightly."

“Never had mother a nobler son. In him the military genius of America
was developed to a greater extent than ever before. In him all that was
pure and lofty in mind and purpose found lodgment. Dignified without
presumption, affable without familiarity, he united all those charms of
manners which made him the idol of his friends and of his soldiers and
won for him the respect and admiration of the world. Even as in the days
of triumph, glory did not intoxicate, so, when the dark clouds swept
over him, adversity did not depress."

Two
weeks after calling a press conference in front of the Jefferson Davis
Monument in Richmond, and announcing that his first task if elected
Mayor would be to have it torn down, Joe Morrissey backtracked
yesterday, admitting that he had made a mistake. “I don’t think I
thought that through,” he told local news.
That's an understatement, Joe...

"The Va Flaggers are disappointed, but not surprised, to hear that
Joe Morrissey has called a press conference to announce that if he were
elected Mayor of Richmond, the first thing he would do is tear down the
Jefferson Davis Memorial on Monument Avenue. Mr. Morrissey has a history
of grandstanding and attention grabbing stunts. Tearing down historical
monuments is illegal in the Commonwealth. We would hope that Mr.
Morrissey is familiar enough with Virginia State Law to know
this and trust the citizens of Richmond are not willing to elect a
Mayor who would call a press conference to announce his intentions to
break the law if elected.

The
citizens of the Commonwealth see this for what it is: another stunt to
create division and tension where it does not exist. He cannot legally
destroy the monument, and this press conference is nothing more than an
attempt to garner publicity for his failing campaign and cause strife in
our community.

The
Va Flaggers will meet any proposal to remove ANY Confederate memorial
with the full force of our resources, the support of the majority of the
citizens of the Commonwealth, and with any and all legal means
necessary to prevent ANY desecration of our monuments and memorials."

The pushback and fallout from his stunt was
immediate and the repercussions led "Fighting Joe" to have a change of
heart. Instead of tearing down the Jefferson Davis Monument, Morrissey
now says he favors building a monument that honors African-American
Union and Confederate soldiers.

Hey Joe! We appreciate you recognizing black Confederates, but we've
got one of those monuments already. It's at the State Capitol, just a
few blocks from where you were standing...

WHERE THE REST OF THE FIELD STANDS

Richmond's Mayoral Candidates on Confederate Memorials

Jack Berry
"We should not erase our history just because it makes us
uncomfortable.’" Said he would not seek to remove Confederate monuments
at a Mayoral forum

Lawrence E Williams, Sr.
"It’s important that we rep all aspects of the civil war, that is the
key to this conversation... The primary focus of this election should
not be about the past but should be about our future. We need to
concentrate on our children and providing the proper services in schools
that we need for our city to move forward in order to make all of our
citizens successful.” Said he would not seek to remove Confederate
monuments at a Mayoral forum

Michelle Mosby
Said she would not seek to remove Confederate statues at a Mayoral forum

Jon Baliles
Jonathan Baliles is now proposing "establishing a commission" to decide
how to handle the memorials. (We all know what that means...) This
after he assured constituents and those attending a mayoral forum that
he would not seek to remove Confederate monuments.

Levar Stoney
Former Secretary of the Commonwealth Levar Stoney said he "would not
shed a tear" if the monument was removed and supports discussing the
issue. “There is no better place than Richmond to begin leading the
conversation about what we choose to memorialize. Let’s start the
discussion with Jefferson Davis.”

Bobby Junes
No Information Available

Contrary to what the folks at WTVR 6 and Governor McAuliffe's staff
would have our citizens believe, Virginia's Monuments and Memorials law
is not "murky". The legislature decisively confirmed its intent in the
last session, and the overwhelming majority of the Commonwealth's
citizens are against the removal of any Confederate monument or
memorial.

It is still against state law to alter, move, or destroy any war
monument or memorial, and it is our pledge that any individual or
locality that attempts to do so will face criminal and civil law suits
and the full force of our opposition.

"The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined
to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern
powder and feel Southern steel." Jefferson Davis, February, 1861

Adopt A Soldier Program of Shockoe Hill Cemetery: Setting the standard in honoring the fallen

I had the honor today of attending and participating in the Fall Marker Dedication Ceremony at Shockoe Hill Cemetery. The oldest city owned cemetery in Richmond, Shockoe Hill Cemetery is the final resting place of veterans from every conflict from the War of 1812 through the Vietnam War. In 2014, the Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery kicked off the "Adopt a Soldier" program, seeking donations to obtain and install headstones for the veterans' graves that are unmarked, including an estimated 200 Confederate soldiers.

Since 2014, 38 veterans' graves have been marked, including 27 in 2016 alone! Clayton Shepherd, President of the Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery reported that the record 27 graves marked this year represented an almost 50% increase over their goal, for the year, which was set at 16.

Saturday's heavy rain cleared out for the ceremony, but the wind picked up and made for a blustery and cool, but beautiful afternoon and several dozen gathered for the service, which included poetry reading, special remarks from the descendants of two of the men honored, a flag presentation ceremony, and bagpipe music.

For the Va Flaggers, it was a very special day because one of the markers dedicated was for a resident of the Old Soldiers Home in Richmond. Private John J. H. Brower, Company H, 15th Virginia Infantry enlisted in the 15th Virginia Infantry Regiment on 27 April 1861 at Richmond, Virginia. He survived the war, and died at the Lee Camp Soldier's Home in Richmond. He was buried in Shockoe Hill Cemetery on 13 March 1918, his age listed as 72 in the burial record.

When we heard that one of the residents of the Old Soldiers Home did not have a headstone, it hit us close to home and touched our hearts, and we wanted to help. We took up a collection at one of our meetings to cover the cost and were thrilled to get to see the new marker for the first time today!

After nearly 100 years lying in an unmarked grave, Private Brower's final resting place is now properly marked and he will never be forgotten, thanks to the dedicated work of the Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery.

The Va Flaggers are proud supporters of the Adopt a Soldier Program of Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and consider it a privilege to help share the news of the excellent work they are doing to mark the graves of our Confederate dead.

Typically, if the veteran qualifies for a VA supplied marker, sponsorship consists of covering the installation cost of $275 (mandatory fees set by the City of Richmond).

Each day, the program features the biography of a soldier whose grave has never been marked in their FaceBook posts, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/AdoptASoldierOfShockoeHill/?fref=ts

For more information on how you or your organization can help, please contact Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery President Clayton Shepherd at cc.shep@juno.com or visit their website http://www.shockoehillcemetery.org/index.htm

We have already begun preparing and planning for the high winds and severe weather that could reach Virginia this weekend. Our flag site crews will be busy this week removing all 26 Roadside Memorial Battle Flags ahead of the approaching storm. We have asked them to lower all flags by noon Friday, and to take this opportunity inspect the flags and rope for wear.

This is no easy task, and we are thankful for the dedicated men who volunteer to help with this very important work that saves us wear and tear on expensive flags and helps lessen the chance of damage to the poles during severe weather.

The flags will be raised again once the severe weather threat has passed, and our Guardians can safely access the flag sites.

God bless the Guardians of the Flags, and all of our supporters who help make these projects possible.

Please do not reprint material from this blog without the express permission of the Virginia Flaggers.

WHO ARE THE VA FLAGGERS?

We are citizens of the Commonwealth who stand AGAINST those who would desecrate our Confederate Monuments and memorials, and FOR our Confederate Veterans.

The Virginia Flaggers were organized on September 5, 2011. What began with just a few dedicated Southerners, has now grown to include hundreds of people, from all over the country, who have joined us in defending the honor of the Confederate Veteran, protesting Heritage violations, and forwarding the colors in Richmond, and Virginia… and beyond!

When needed, flaggers stand with our flags against those in opposition in a peaceful, yet forceful manner, to educate and inform the general public, and in open and visible protest against those who have attacked us, our flags, our ancestors, or our Heritage.

Flaggers speak for those who have no voice. We relay a message of Honor, Dignity, Respect, and Heritage to those who never knew, or to those who have forgotten, and to attempt to reach those who refuse to hear.

Our weapon is the Confederate Battle Flag. Our enemies are those who worship ignorance, historical revisionism and Political Correctness.

We take pride in taking a stand for the Cause. For this Cause, we call others to flock to the banner of our ancestors, take up their flags, and join us in battle, for OUR TIME IS NOW.

The Va Flaggers reject any person or group whose actions tarnish or bring dishonor upon the Confederate soldier or his reason for fighting, including those groups and persons using our cherished flag as a symbol for their own dishonorable purposes.
